Open Up to Eden

I sit at this pond
wondering why people aren't fond
of such simple beauty so true
instead choose to be blue?

Sounds of bumblebees humming
wood peckers drumming;
a slight breeze
Moving at ease;
ripples are flowing
pond looking as if it were growing.

It makes minds expand
not being so bland;
still we choose to destroy this
keeping us from simple bliss;
but instead choose to be stewards of land
and give it a helping hand.

This Garden of Eden was a giving
so we could be living
on this earth that is heaven
and created in more than seven;
so let us save our planet so near to death
Before it takes its final breath.

Meditating at a pond, fully aware of everything around me and at peace with myself. This moment made me think of the destruction we are causing our environment, and how no one pays attention to Eden.
